One-on-One Therapy: A Personalized Approach to Healing and Growth

One-on-one therapy, also known as individual therapy or counseling, is a deeply personal and confidential process where you work directly with a trained therapist to address your mental, emotional, or behavioral challenges. In these private sessions, you have the therapist’s full attention, allowing for a focused and tailored experience that is specific to your unique needs and goals.

What to Expect in One-on-One Therapy

1. A Safe, Confidential Space: One-on-one therapy provides a safe, non-judgmental, and confidential environment where you can openly express your feelings, thoughts, and concerns. This is a space where you are encouraged to explore your emotions and experiences at your own pace, knowing that your therapist is there to listen, understand, and offer support.

2. Personalized Support and Guidance: In individual therapy, the therapist works with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific challenges. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, grief, or any other emotional struggle, the therapist will use various therapeutic techniques tailored to your situation, helping you gain insight, develop coping strategies, and work toward meaningful change.

3. Tools for Healing and Growth: Through one-on-one sessions, you will have the opportunity to learn and practice new tools and techniques to manage stress, improve your mental health, and make positive life changes. This might include cognitive-behavioral strategies, mindfulness practices, EMDR, Brainspotting, or other therapeutic modalities depending on your needs.

4. A Collaborative Relationship: The therapist-client relationship is built on trust and collaboration. You and your therapist work together as a team, with the therapist guiding you toward self-discovery, emotional healing, and personal growth. The therapist is there to offer expertise, support, and encouragement as you work toward achieving your goals.

One on one therapy with Elizabeth Rivera – EMDR, Brainspotting, and Energy Healing for Deep Healing and Personal Growth

Why Choose Me as Your Therapist?

97% of my clients are seen online and prefer it. I’m trained and able to provide transformative care in the comfort of your own home.
A Holistic Approach to Healing: I believe that true healing comes from addressing the mind, body, and spirit in an integrated way. While traditional talk therapy can be helpful, I incorporate EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and Brainspotting to create lasting change by working directly with your brain and nervous system. These cutting-edge therapies are designed to help you process trauma, release emotional blocks, and achieve profound healing at a deep, cellular level.
- EMDR is a scientifically proven approach that helps you process traumatic memories, reduce anxiety, and shift negative beliefs. Through bilateral stimulation (like guided eye movements), your brain can reprocess distressing experiences and move toward healing.
- Brainspotting allows us to access deeply held emotions and unresolved trauma through specific eye positions, tapping into the brain’s natural healing mechanisms to release old patterns and emotions that no longer serve you.
Energy Healing to Restore Balance: Alongside EMDR and Brainspotting, I offer Energy Healing techniques to help you restore balance to your body’s energy system. Energy healing supports emotional well-being by clearing blockages, reducing stress, and promoting a sense of calm and clarity. By combining these modalities, we create a holistic approach that addresses your mental, emotional, and physical health, ensuring long-lasting transformation.
Customized, Client-Centered Therapy: Each person’s journey is unique, and my approach to therapy is always tailored to meet your specific needs. Together, we will work through the challenges you’re facing, identify the root causes of your difficulties, and create a personalized plan for healing and growth. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where you can explore your feelings and experiences, and move at your own pace.
Expert Support for Trauma, Anxiety, and Emotional Growth: I specialize in helping clients heal from a range of emotional and psychological challenges, including:
- Trauma and PTSD: Whether stemming from childhood experiences, recent events, or accumulated life stressors, EMDR and Brainspotting are powerful tools to heal trauma.
- Anxiety and Depression: These conditions often have roots in unresolved emotional patterns or past experiences. My approach will help you release the stuck energy and negative beliefs that contribute to these feelings.
- Life Transitions and Stress: Major life changes can be overwhelming, and my techniques can help you process your emotions and regain clarity, resilience, and confidence.
- Emotional and Spiritual Growth: If you’re seeking to explore your deeper self, uncover your purpose, or cultivate personal empowerment, I integrate energy healing to help you access your inner wisdom and strength.
- Grief and Loss: Grief and loss is a deeply personal and often overwhelming experience. Whether you’ve lost a loved one, ended a significant relationship, or experienced another form of loss, navigating through grief can feel like an insurmountable challenge. It’s a journey filled with a wide range of emotions, and finding the right support can make all the difference.
- Fears and Phobias: Fear is a natural human emotion, but it doesn’t have to control your life. With the right therapeutic approach, you can heal from past traumas, release deep-seated anxieties, and reclaim your sense of peace. If fear is impacting your quality of life, both EMDR and Brainspotting offer powerful tools for overcoming it. We can explore the specific sources of your fear, identify key moments that contribute to it, and use these therapies to process and release the emotional charge. Over time, you’ll begin to notice a reduction in the intensity of your fear, more emotional freedom, and a greater sense of peace.
A Safe, Compassionate Environment: It’s important to me that you feel heard, understood, and supported throughout our work together. In our sessions, you can expect a warm, empathic, and non-judgmental space where we collaborate to achieve your healing goals. I prioritize creating an environment where you can feel comfortable enough to explore difficult emotions and experiences with the full support of a skilled, compassionate therapist.
Proven Techniques for Real Results: Both EMDR and Brainspotting have been shown to be highly effective in treating a wide range of issues. The combination of these therapies with energy healing makes my approach particularly powerful, giving you the tools to heal at a deep level and experience significant, lasting change.
